FAQ:
Q: What is Cinema Tachyon and why would I need it in Dark Energy?
A: For those who do not know about our other flagship product, Tachyon, it is a high-grade standards converter capable of conversions on par or better than the best hardware solutions in the world. Imagine now having the ability to deliver textured content in any target frame rate, or the ability to fix broken telecine/cadence patterns or intermixed content prior to texturing. This is the ultimate 1-2 punch. We can provide trials of the plugin.

Q: That’s terrific and all, but how much will it cost?
A: The price for Cinema Tachyon, per seat which includes up to 4 GPU licenses, is $15,000. We are willing to negotiate fees with any facility willing to include our Cinnafilm logo in their film credits.
